Title: Sprocket
Post by: 2006YFZ450 on September 26, 2005, 05:37:30 PM
If I put a sprocket kit on my Raptor what would it change?  Im lookin more accleration and easy wheelies.  I like to ride track.  What number should I go for the front and the back?

Just change out the front there only about 20$ and if you go down in size in the front forinstance... Stock=15  Top End=16  Bottom End=14 just as an example. the rear is opposite, the smaller you go the more Top End you gain the bigger you go the more bottom end.

the bigger you go the more top speed the smaller the more acceleration.

I found this @ atvnews forum:

"i just checked the gearing on my 700's.. 14-38 20" rear tire."

This should have read:  Stock=14  Top End=15  Bottom End=13

Just an FYI

If your going ride on race track get rid of those 20inch tires get some 18inch holeshot and that will give you bottom end and better handling without having to change your sprockets. Your going to have to do it anyway, sooner or later.
